A great quotes by Ronald Ross
• I have failed in finding parasites in mosquitoes fed on malaria patients, but perhaps I am not using the proper kind of mosquito
• “The screws of my microscope were rusted with sweat from my forehead and hands, and its last remaining eye-piece was cracked

Beginning of Diagnostic Microbiology
•In the late 1800s, the realization that identifiable microbes caused specific diseases led to pathogens Specific medical diagnosis. Although the time honoured techniques of growing bacteria in broth or solid cultures and staining and examining them under microscopes are still important today20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5

The Real Good of the Past in Diagnostic Microbiology
• In the good old days, the microbiology laboratory used to be a labour intensive place equipped with incubators and microscopes. Microbiologists were patient scientists waiting at least 24 hours before their isolated cultures were grown enough for identification
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8

KNOW THE MICROBES BEFORE YOU PROCEED
• The cultural characteristics of a microorganism usually vary depending on the media used and many other factors. Some experienced microbiologists could have a good guess about the identity of a microorganism just by its cultural characteristics, but this was proven to be a bad technique. Students as well as microbiologists are advised to follow strict procedures for the identification of isolates from clinical specimens.
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 33

General View on the Parameters Used in the Process of MicroorganismIdentification
• Before one can proceed to identify a microorganism, the characteristics of that organism have to be determined in details In clinical terms, it is the shape, size, colour, elevation and other characteristics of the colony formed on the culture plate. In taxonomy, it includes the nutrient requirements for the growth of the organism and the physical factors such as temperature, pH and the incubation period. These factors are used to identify certain pathogenic species but less commonly used in routine procedures
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 35
![Page 36: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Is our experience Matches Scientific Approach
• Some experienced microbiologists could have a good guess about the identity of a microorganism just by its cultural characteristics, but this was proven to be a bad technique. Students as well as microbiologists are advised to follow strict procedures for the identification of isolates from clinical specimens.
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 36

BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Frequently, the identity of a species requires detailed knowledge of its biochemical activities, since other characteristics are not sufficiently distinctive or differential. For example, the bacterium Escherichia coli, a normal inhabitant of our intestinal tract, is indistinguishable microscopically from Salmonella typhi, the bacterium that causes typhoid fever. However, if these two bacteria are examined for their metabolic (or biochemical) characteristics, they are found to be very different and distinguishable on this basis.
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 37
![Page 38: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Morphology and Staining
• This includes the microscopic appearance of a stained preparation of the organism. Useful information to be taken into account, are the size of the individual cells, cell shape and arrangement and staining reaction if differential staining procedures is used.20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 38

TILL TO DATE THERE IS NO FASTER METHOD AS GRAM’S STAINING
• Some laboratories which have a little facility could give the report of a microbiological examination of a clinical specimen just by stating their morphological characteristics and the sensitivity testing results
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 39
![Page 40: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Gram staining most Rapid method as the Situation warrants
• Look up reference images. If you are not certain what a bacteria is, look through a collection of reference images, sorted by shape and result of the gram stain. You can find databases online at the National Microbial Pathogen Database
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 41
![Page 42: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Disadvantages of Microscopic methods
•Microscopy may suggest an etiologic agent, but it rarely provides definitive evidence of infection by a particular species.
• Microscopic findings regarding bacterial morphology may be misleading, because many species can be pleomorphic and conclusions can be influenced by subjective interpretation of the investigator.
•20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 42
![Page 43: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Staining is limited Sensitive
• Limited sensitivity is because a relatively large number of microbial cells are required before they are seen under microscopy (e.g. 104 bacterial cells/ml of fluid) (Fredricks & Relman, 1999). Some micro-organisms can even require appropriate stains and/or approaches to become visible. • Limited specificity is because our inability to speciate
micro-organisms based on their morphology and staining patterns.
20-02-2016 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 43
![Page 44: CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58eb7fbe1a28ab62688b467f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Problems With Traditional Methods• Cultivation-based methods insensitive for detecting some
organisms.
• Cultivation-based methods limited to pathogens with known growth requirements.
• Poor discrimination between microbes with common behavioural features.
• Failure to detect infections caused by uncultivated (e.g., novel) organisms, or organisms that fail to elicit a detectable host immune response.
• Visual appearance of microorganisms is nonspecific.

Problems With Traditional Methods
• Examples of Failures With Traditional Approaches
• Detection and speciation of slow-growing organisms takes weeks
• (e.g., M. tuberculosis).
• A number of visible microorganisms cannot be cultivated (e.g., Whipple bacillus).
• Diseases presumed to be infectious remain ill-defined with not detected microorganism (e.g., abrupt fever after tick bite).

Culture of fungi• Fungi specimens
obtained from non sterile sites must be inoculated onto media containing antibacterial agents. Specimens should be allowed to grow for 4 wkbefore being discarded.

Parasitology Testing Laboratory Services
• This test evaluates stool for presence of parasites and levels of beneficial flora, imbalanced flora, possible pathogenic bacteria and possible fungal pathogens. This Comprehensive Parasitology Profile uses the most technologically advanced procedures to accurately identify a wide range of protozoal parasites, including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates, coccidia and microsporidia. This stool test can help reveal hidden causes behind acute or chronic conditions that develop from parasitic infection or dysbiosis.

• In the get-it-done-yesterday environment Hospitals and Microbiology laboratories are finding that the traditional microbiological methodologies and especially sending microbiological samples to outside labs cost them time, money and opportunities Internalizing the microbiology testing and especially adopting rapid microbiological methods (RMM) can significantly speed up the time to results from 7-10 days to 24-48 hours.

Limitations of Conventional Microbiological Testing
• Conventional microbiological methods have well-known inherent limitations. These include small test sample volumes, prolonged incubation periods, incompatibilities with membrane filtration, and ambiguity associated with using turbidity as a detection endpoint

India can face many challenges • The increase in worldwide travel,
coupled with increasing immigration into the India, contributes to the spread and incidence of parasitic infections. In addition, parasitic infections are commonly transmitted through fecally contaminated food, water, or other materials within this country.

Conventional techniques of Malaria
• Current diagnostic methods for malaria include clinical diagnosis, microscopy, serology, molecular diagnosis, and antibody detection. Giemsa staining of the peripheral blood smear is the gold standard for the diagnosis of malaria, but also has limitations. Using microscopy as the only means of diagnosing malaria can lead to false negatives. Another diagnostic tool is Rapid Diagnostic Tests or RDTs also known as dipstick assays. It

Gold Standard for diagnosis of Malaria
• The gold standard for the diagnosis of malaria is the Giemsa staining of the peripheral blood smear(Thick and thin smear), but its also has its limitations. However, even under optimal conditions the sensitivity of microscopy is only about twenty parasites/μl of blood, and subjective interpretation and reader errors further reduce the accuracy of diagnosis.

Human dedication matters • Conventional microscopic
examination of peripheral thick and thin blood smears remains the gold standard for malaria diagnosis. Although this method requires a trained microscopist, and sensitivity and specificity vary compared with recent technical advances, it is inexpensive and reliable.

CDC helps in Digital diagnosis ➲The CDC now offers tele diagnosis to help laboratories diagnose
malaria and other parasitic diseases. When laboratories are not certain about identifying parasites on a slide, they can e-mail to the CDC images of the suspected parasites. Experts then review the images and discuss findings with the submitting lab within only a few hours, allowing near real-time diagnosis as well as an opportunity for training in microscopic diagnosis.

THE FUTURE OF DIAGNOSTIC MICROBIOLOGY IS CHANGING
• The physical structure of laboratories, staffing patterns, work flow, and turnaround time have all been profoundly influenced by technical advances. The implementation of nucleic acid amplification-based molecular techniques provides complementary, rapid, and on-demand diagnosis services. These changes will continue, and lead diagnostic microbiology inevitably to a modern discipline, which can face many challenges in the future.
